When to clean gutters in Golden Gate

Gutter and downspout size for Golden Gate rain
The short, hard downpour is what a gutter is sized for. In Golden Gate the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 10.66 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 9). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 680 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 1,350, by the rule in the Copper Development Association’s design handbook.
